Abstract
Techniques for managing forwarding configurations in a data communications network include accessing, at least one controller, a packet-processing policy defined by a user in a general-purpose programming language other than a programming language of data forwarding element forwarding rules, the packet-processing policy specifying how data packets are to be processed through the data communications network via the at least one controller. A forwarding configuration for at least one data forwarding element in the data communications network may be derived from the user-defined packet-processing policy, and may be applied to the at least one data forwarding element.
